Recognizing the urgent need for peace, stability, and reconciliation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and supporting diplomatic, economic, and humanitarian efforts to achieve lasting peace in the region.

HRES 559 is a non-binding House resolution recognizing the severe humanitarian crisis in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), where over 6.8 million people have been displaced and millions face starvation. It calls for U.S. support of diplomatic efforts like the Luanda and Nairobi peace processes, sanctions against armed groups (including M23 and ADF), and reforms to combat corruption and conflict mineral exploitation. The resolution directly affects DRC civilians enduring violence and displacement, as well as U.S. and international partners working on peacebuilding and mineral supply chain accountability.
